The county magistrate was frightened by Di Renjie's cold gaze.

However, what Di Renjie said was not wrong, and the people in the entire mansion were suspected of committing crimes.

So, the county magistrate called out all the maids in the house.

There are ten women and maids, plus mothers-in-law.

"Has all the people arrived?"

Di Renjie glanced at everyone sternly, and several subordinates were so frightened that their foreheads sweated on the spot.

"Xiaocui accompanied Mrs. back to her parents' house." A woman stood up and said.

Di Renjie lowered his eyes and said, "When did Madame go to her mother's house?" ”

The woman thought for a moment, stretched out her hand and said, "It was about five days ago. ”

"Madame shouldn't have the time to commit the crime, the official silver was lost two days ago."

Yan Xiaomo said.

Di Renjie didn't say anything, nodded to Headwind and Dongxiao, and the two of them understood, so that everyone stepped on the white flour ground, and then compared them one by one.

In the end, the footprints of three people were able to match those found in the official treasury, almost exactly matching.

There were two men and a woman among the three, one of the two men was the coachman and the other was the cook of the kitchen, and the woman was the cook's wife.

It is ironic to say that the shoes worn by this cook and her wife are the same size, which is also known to the whole house.

"Come on, take them down." The prefectural magistrate directly ordered the arrest of those three people.

"The adults have been wronged, but the little ones have not stolen the official silver ......"

The three of them were so frightened that they knelt directly on the ground and begged for mercy, this crime of stealing official silver is not small, and it is to be killed.

"Now that the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to quibble, why don't you honestly explain the whereabouts of the official bank?"

The prefectural magistrate has already determined that these three people are the ones who stole the official silver.

"If the adult is wronged, even if he gives the small one a hundred guts, the small one will not dare to steal the official silver."

"Since you don't say it, don't blame the official for extorting confessions by torture, come on, drag them out and beat them, and beat them to the position where they honestly confess."

The county magistrate didn't seem to have much patience, so he directly let the guards come in and drag people.

"Wait." Di Renjie's voice sounded.

"Master Di, but what else do you want to ask?"

The county magistrate asked respectfully towards Di Renjie.

"This evidence does not prove that they are thieves who stole official silver, and the official still needs to interrogate them."

Di Renjie said slowly, if you can determine the evidence of a person's guilt based on footprints alone, this is really a bit hasty.

"Master Di?"

The prefectural magistrate was a little puzzled.

"Put a few of them in a cell first, and the official will naturally interrogate them."

Di Renjie is not in a hurry, these people are currently the most suspected, but if it wasn't for them stealing the official silver, this matter can't be concluded.

When the county magistrate saw Di Renjie say this, he could only let the three of them be put in the cell first, waiting for Di Renjie to interrogate.

"Master Di, will it be those people who stole the official silver?"

The little mouse sat next to Di Renjie and asked curiously.

"Yuan Fang, do you think it could be those people?"

Di Renjie didn't answer the rhetorical question, this matter is full of suspicions, and there are still many places to investigate.

"Yuan Fang thinks that there must be something strange in this." The little mouse is not sure, after all, he has been with Di Renjie for so long, and many things cannot be judged by the first evidence alone.

"What do you think of Xiao Jiu?"

Di Renjie nodded with satisfaction, and his gaze turned to Yan Xiaomo.
